Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134 Going To A Hotel With Another Man

Arius and Sophie went to the most popular barbecue restaurant in Jipsdale.

Arius had missed everything about Jipsdale since he had been away for quite a long period of time.

The barbecue shop was extremely famous. It was frequently visited by the rich and famous.

If it was not for a contact of Arius, he would not be able to get a private room to dine in.

While he was reading the menu, Sophie was playing games on her phone nonchalantly.

“We haven’t seen each other for ages. Is that the right attitude for welcoming me home? By ignoring me completely?” he grumbled. Even when we were far apart, I have always been missing her in Anglandur. Look at her! I bet she has totally forgotten about my existence. How heartless!

“What do you mean? Am I not having a meal with you the moment I know that you’re back? Do you know how many people in Jipsdale could only dream about having this honor?” Sophie disagreed.

Instinctively, Arius twitched the corner of his lip and snapped, “Don’t you think that I don’t know the only reason you’re being nice to me is because Old Mr. Tanner is unwell.” He came back from abroad several times and went all the way to Horington to see her, but she gave him the cold shoulder.

“Is everything okay with you, Sophie?” No matter what happened between them, he was most worried about her health.

“Absolutely! I couldn’t be any better. Can’t you tell? The world still needs to tolerate a troublemaker like me for at least a thousand years,” she replied casually.

“Sophie, I disliked the way you described yourself. How could you say that you’re a troublemaker? You’re the rare gem of Chanaea, do you know that? There’s hardly a handful of people like you in this world!”

A few foreign universities had been inquiring about her and contacted her multiple times, but Sophie remained unfazed.

Moments later, the waiter served the dishes. Sophie had only a few mouthfuls before focusing on her phone again. Ysabelle sent her a couple of voice messages, and she switched them all to texts for convenience’s sake.

“I see that you don’t have a good appetite. Why don’t you come over to the hospital tomorrow and get yourself a thorough check-up?” Arius stared at her with concern.

During those years she spent in Horington, she had acquired many skills and attained a lot of things. At the same time, her health was also compromised.

“I’m fine, so I don’t need a check-up. I know my condition very well.” The priority now is Grandpa. Everything else doesn’t really matter.

Arius looked at her disapprovingly.

“Why don’t you listen to me, Sophie? I know you’re in the pink of health, but your appetite is bad. Isn’t this a recurring issue?” He did not come back often. This time, he was not planning on giving up persuading her.

Sophie furrowed her brows and repeated, “I said I’m fine.”

I can single-handedly defeat more than ten mercenaries at any one time. What problem can my body have?

“Listen to me, won’t you? Or else, don’t blame me for taking you home forcefully.” Arius regretted his decision to bring her to the training camp back then.

“Dream on! Do you think that I will follow you home so easily? No one can make me do anything I refuse to do,” she declared confidently.

Well, well, well… What should I do with you, Sophie?

“I know there’s no way I can change your mind. Anyhow, that’s your body. You ought to love yourself more.” I can’t imagine what would happen to her next if she continues to live like this.

“All right, I got it. I know that you care. Come on, dig in! Didn’t you say that you’ve missed this barbecue terribly?”

Arius knew that she would turn a deaf ear to him. As such, he could only let her be.

Is there no one else on earth who could control this young lady?

He truly hoped that there was someone else whom she feared, even if it involved another man.
